New & Used Tile Specialists in Parramatta

Parramatta, located in Western Sydney, has a rich history that reflects its evolution from Indigenous lands to a bustling urban centre. Originally inhabited by the Burramattagal people of the Darug nation, the area was known for its abundant food sources, particularly eels from the Parramatta River. The name 'Parramatta' is derived from the Darug word 'Burramatta,' meaning 'place where the eels lie down.' European settlement began in November 1788 when Governor Arthur Phillip established a farming settlement at Rose Hill, later renamed Parramatta in 1791. This area became Australia's second European settlement, aimed at providing food for the fledgling colony. As Parramatta developed, construction methods and materials evolved. Early buildings were constructed using locally sourced timber and sandstone. By the early 19th century, brick and stone structures became more prevalent, reflecting the settlement's growth and permanence. ​ Today, Parramatta is a vibrant and diverse community, experiencing significant urban development. The ongoing construction and renovation of residential and commercial properties have increased the demand for quality building materials.
